How to survive the flight to Sao Gabriel?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Sao Gabriel.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don’t forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sao Gabriel?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Sao Gabriel, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
